We recently had the chance to connect with DIMA KONTAR and have shared our conversation below.
Hi DIMA, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first 90 minutes of my day are all about momentum and structure. It starts with getting the kids up, dressed, fed, and out the door—packing lunches, finding shoes, and making sure everyone is ready for school. Once they’re dropped off, I shift the focus to myself and head straight into a workout. That time to move my body helps clear my head, reset my energy, and set the tone for the rest of the day. By the time I’m done, I feel accomplished, grounded, and ready to take on whatever comes next.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Dima Kontar—a content creator, mom, and lifestyle influencer focused on lifestyle, beauty, self-care, and travel. I create relatable, elevated content that blends everyday motherhood with personal style, wellness routines, and real-life moments, showing that balance and confidence are built through intentional choices. What makes my page unique is its authenticity: I share both the curated highlights and the unfiltered reality, helping my community feel inspired yet grounded.
In addition to digital content, I’m actively involved in in-person promotion and marketing events, collaborating with brands through experiential activations, launches, and community-focused experiences. Right now, I’m focused on expanding meaningful partnerships, growing my platform with purpose, and continuing to create content and real-world connections that empower women to invest in themselves while navigating busy, full lives.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Bonds between people are often broken by miscommunication, unmet expectations, lack of empathy, and the slow buildup of unspoken hurt. Ego, fear, and distraction can create distance, especially when people stop truly listening or assuming good intent. Over time, silence and resentment can feel louder than any argument.
What restores those bonds is honesty paired with compassion—being willing to listen, take responsibility, and see the other person’s perspective. Presence matters: showing up consistently, even imperfectly. Trust is rebuilt through small actions, accountability, and patience. Ultimately, connection is restored when people choose understanding over being right, and care over convenience.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me humility, empathy, and resilience in a way success never could. Success can build confidence, but suffering builds depth—it forces you to slow down, confront yourself, and understand what truly matters. Through hard moments, I learned how strong I am without needing validation, how to sit with discomfort, and how to show up for others with genuine compassion. It stripped away what was superficial and clarified my values, teaching me gratitude, patience, and the power of perseverance. Success may reward you, but suffering reshapes you.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
A cultural value I protect at all costs is family-first loyalty—the belief that showing up for one another, especially in difficult moments, is non-negotiable. It’s rooted in respect, generosity, and maintaining strong connections across generations. No matter how busy life gets or how much success comes and goes, prioritizing family, honoring commitments, and preserving close bonds is something I won’t compromise. It grounds me, shapes how I raise my kids, and influences how I move through the world with others.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
I would stop overextending myself to meet expectations that don’t truly matter. I’d stop saying yes out of guilt, rushing through moments with my kids, and postponing rest, joy, and meaningful connection for “later.” I’d let go of unnecessary pressure to be everything for everyone and focus instead on presence—being fully there with the people I love, taking care of my health, and spending my time on work and experiences that feel aligned and purposefu
